Coaches and Sexual Abuse
Monday, 26 June 2006
North Jersey published an important story about the betrayal of trust by coaches who molested the children they coached.
The backdrop of this story was the public accusation of a figure skater who said a famous coach and sexually abused him. This article is especially important for parents to become aware of how sexual predators use various emotionally oligating and abusive tactics to lure victims into silence. As Craig Maurizi described his relationship with his coach Richard Callaghan:
“He was my father for those years. Even though he screwed me over so badly, he helped me. That’s where the big emotional conflict is. In these cases, these people do good things for you. That keeps you on the hook.”
